ECW Results: An Original Goodbye
Tired of listening to taunts from Zack Ryder, Tommy Dreamer vowed that if he couldn’t defeat Ryder Tuesday night, he’d leave ECW forever, a strong statement from a Superstar who joined ECW in 1993. With all of his heart, soul and strength, Dreamer – a former two-time ECW Champion – fought the cocky youngster from Long Island, N.Y., but ultimately lost the night his career was on the line.
After a DDT from Dreamer, Ryder snuck his leg under the rope, stopping WWE Official Scott Armstrong’s three-count. Ryder was lucky to find himself in the right place at the right time. Moments later, Ryder countered Dreamer’s back suplex and pinned him, sealing the ECW Original’s fate.
Dreamer’s initial shock turned into emotion as he addressed the WWE Universe, recalling his first time in the Izod Center years ago, watching his second-ever WWE event – featuring a live Piper’s Pit – with his best friend and his father.
“This has been my dream since I was 9 years old and I think it totally proves if you have passion for what you do, you can make it anywhere. And I made it in ECW and I made it in WWE,” he said.
Dreamer went on to thank the old and the new ECW, and told the WWE Universe they are his family – a family he’ll miss.
“Thank you so much. I love you all so much,” he said, shedding a few tears.
With the loss, Dreamer – the final ECW Original on the WWE roster – left Tuesday nights, leaving his prized ECW T-shirt in the ring. Amid “E-C-Dub” chants from the WWE Universe, Dreamer paused to hug his wife at ringside and carried his daughters up the ramp as he said goodbye to the Land of the Extreme one final time.

WWE Has Lucha Libre on the Ropes
It was fight night, and the souvenir vendors were out in force around the Arena Mexico, mecca for the Mexican style of pro wrestling known as lucha libre.
There were satin lucha libre masks for sale, posters of Mexican legends, such as Blue Demon and El Santo, and action figures of current Mexican wrestlers, such as MÃstico.
Jorge RodrÃguez, 5, wanted none of those. His eye was on a T-shirt featuring Jeff Hardy, an American star from World Wrestling Entertainment, the U.S. league. "I like them better. I'm going to have a WWE birthday party!" he gushed. Then a vendor walked by carrying a tiny WWE wrestling ring. "Oooooh! Mom!" RodrÃguez shouted.
In a country intensely proud of its wrestling tradition, the WWE is making an unprecedented push to win over Mexican fans, signing new television contracts, striking merchandising deals, launching a magazine and bringing its muscle-bound stars south of the border for live events.
"We've been working quite diligently (in Mexico) over the last couple of years," said Andrew Whitaker, president of WWE International. "It's a sea change in our brands and story lines."...More?

Raw Results: Pink and Black is Back
Never say never. Mr. McMahon accepted Bret “Hit Man” Hart’s request to serve as special guest host of the first Raw in 2010! While The Chairman initially declined the WWE Hall of Famer’s appeal, the goading of Shawn Michaels, of all people, appeared to change Mr. McMahon’s mind.
Michaels had interrupted The Chairman to ask for a rematch between himself and The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVI. Mr. McMahon informed Michaels that not even he can impose his will upon The Deadman. At that point, HBK turned his attention to Hart, who he insisted he would be more than happy to see host Raw. After sharing a furtive glance with Michaels, The Chairman appeared to have a change of heart and gleefully granted Hart’s request. Full results.

Brain Damage Found in Hockey Player
A deceased professional hockey player has been found to have had brain damage associated with repeated head trauma, connecting hockey for the first time to health risks linked to boxers and, most recently, football players.
Reggie Fleming, a defenseman and left wing known for fighting as much as scoring in a long career from 1959 to 1974, was found by Boston University researchers to have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative disease known to cause cognitive decline, behavioral abnormalities and ultimately dementia. Fleming died in July at age 73 and was the first hockey player known to have been tested for the disease, known as C.T.E...More?

Carl DeMarco Gets to the Poynt
Carl DeMarco wants to clear something up. WWE's former global president, with a chunk of his job in Canada (he was named WWE Canada president in 1995), didn't quit because of a rift with WWE. He says there was no issue with his boss, Vince McMahon.
It was just time to move on and DeMarco, still living in Toronto, is happy to have landed on the board of directors for Multiplied Media, a Calgary-based provider of mobile local search services. Front and centre is Poynt, a piping-hot Blackberry app that points users to local retailers, business and events. You can get driving directions, see showtimes, watch trailers, buy movie tickets and much more.
DeMarco says it was just time for a change and it was coincidence that it came not long after there were layoffs at WWE Canada...More?

"Gorgeous George" Wagner died of a heart attack at 48
March 24, 1915 - December 26, 1963
Muhammad Ali acknowledged that his own approach to flamboyant self-promotion was influenced by George. A 19-year old Ali met a 46-year old George at a Las Vegas radio station. During George's radio interview, the wrestler's promo caught the attention of the future heavyweight champion. If George lost to Classy Freddie Blassie, George exclaimed, "I'll crawl across the ring and cut my hair off! But that's not gonna happen because I'm the greatest wrestler in the world!" Ali recalled, "I saw 15,000 people comin' to see this man get beat. And his talking did it. I said, 'This is a gooood idea!'" In the locker room afterwards, the seasoned wrestler gave the future legend some invaluable advice: "A lot of people will pay to see someone shut your mouth. So keep on bragging, keep on sassing and always be outrageous." - wikipedia.org
